Very simple question. So isopods and/or springtails burrow to seek out more moist substrate?
Some context. I've got a few deep burrowing tarantulas who need it quite humid, but as some of you know, I've run into a bit of a fly problem. Since the flies only reproduce on the surface of the substrate, I'd like to be able to dry out the enclosures. The first inch or two of substrate will dry out, with deeper inches still being quite humid. Will the isopods and springtails burrow down to survive, or would they just die along with the larvae on the surface?
As always, thank you all for the help
